You know those people that are negative about everything? They shit on every idea and only focus on the negatives. All they talk about is what’s wrong with the world, themselves, or even worse, YOU. I’m about to take a page out of their book. This week, I’m gonna tell you what’s wrong with your fitness […]

In case you’re too busy to read – what’s inside: Burning more calories than you eat = weight loss. Weight in conjunction with high enough protein intake and strength train = fat loss The most important variable in weight loss is controlling how much you eat “Diets” are short-term fixes but your long-term habit changes dictates…

In most cases, when people start to “eat healthy”, they lose weight and get leaner. It’s just not a guarantee.
